Might sound dumb, but met this guy online and we’re going to the movies and possibly dinner tomorrow night after i work. Now, I’ve ONLY been with my ex, and we dated almost 5 years, and its been a little over 7 months since he left, so i am i guess kinda new at dating i guess so kind of unsure on what to do i guess. And I know its kind of scary since i met this guy online, but i met my ex online and i talked to 2 other guys before this new one, one turned out to be a jerk and the other just didn’t click but i never met them in person. I have this guys myspace and facebook and friends and family have checked on him, lol. Ive been talking to him for at least 2 weeks now and we have almost everything in common, so we pretty much clicked right away. But again, ive only been with one guy and for almost 5 years so any tips on 1st dates hehe? I am a shy person, tho online i talk but i know ill prolly be quiet at 1st with him, like i was when i 1st met my ex. So yeah, gimme tips i guess hehe, even if my question may sound kinda dumb lol.

I know it’s cliche, but just be yourself. Try not to be too quiet, you don’t want him to feel like he’s on a date with himself or that he has to work hard to get anything out of you. Just talk about whatever things the two of you have in common, it’ll be an easy way of keeping his interest. And remember, no kissing on the first date! Good luck, have fun!
tell him out straight that your not ususally this shy and its been awhile since youve dated. im sure hel understand. just make sure you look hot haha
smell good. smile. and laugh. yep.

YES DO NOT SLEEP WITH HIM!!!! If he’s a real good guy he wont try but just in case, stay somewhere public!
Internet dating is something of the 21st century and seems to be working for plenty of people. I’ve done it and had good experiences as well as a few bad ones. I say what you need to do is make sure you stay in a public setting, meet up where ever you are going and drive seperate cars. People will feed you b.s. to get what they want especially online. As for the date itself if you are shy at first its no big deal as long as you are being yourself he cant ask for anything more. The most important thing is to be yourself and feel comfortable. Best of Luck!!
First thing off the bat, is to meet in a very public place just to test out the waters to see if you really “click”. Don’t get to excited because when you do meet people off the internet, many are way different than they present themselves. I know this from first hand experiences! It’s o.k. to be quiet at first and if you like him you’ll feel more comfortable and will talk a bit more. Second, whatever you do don’t give it up on the first meeting. Hopefully he is a good talker to take some of the pressure off of you. Just smile and be interested in what he has to say. Be careful and good-luck!
Well going to the movies is playing it safe since you don’t have to talk much. But, at dinner you’re going to need to have something to talk about. I stick with things that you’ve already mentioned while you’ve talked online. Men can talk about themselves like pros haha Like if he told you he likes to do something ask how he got into doing that, if he still does, and possibly if it’s something you can do together, ask to do it together sometime. Men like their ego stroked, for sure. Tell them they look good, they’re good at what they do, and point out their good points.
When there is an awkward silence, just say something like “I’m not meaning to be quiet, but I was just thinking about what you said online……” And then you’ll be able to pull something out of what you already know to learn more about him.
If I have found out anything from the internet it is one thing ! Never, never trust anyone you have never met there. There are liars, cheaters, and much worse out there in this world. Killers, rapist’s, child molesters, and on and on !
To be a young lady meeting someone for the first time, it is always best for someone to be with you going and returning home. Would give the same information to young men, also. Would never allow my daughter to do as you are ! I do not care her age !
You be the one to suggest the place that you will feel the most comfortable in. Even if the person to have with you steps aside do not leave alone with this guy. Learn to trust your instincts. Take your time till you are comfortable with them. If they like you and find you interesting they will also understand if you explain why you have a friend around.
